Make Your Own ClothesWhat Make Your Own Clothes is
Make Your Own Clothes is a bespoke tailor's shop for people who want to make their own clothes. It drafts real sewing patterns from your body measurements, the tailor's block method used by open-source pattern tools, and lets you redraw them on a cutting table.
It sews the flat pieces together in a 3D cloth simulation on a mannequin built from your measurements, explains fabrics in a researched reference guide and writes a step-by-step making book for your pattern and cloth.
